Package: nmh
Version: 1.5-release-0.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
I'm reporting a problem with spost.
* What led up to the situation?
Not sure. Maybe an upgrade to nmh?
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I have a script that calls
send -draftfolder +delay4 -draftmessage 1
and similar, via cron job at need.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Send failed with a message from spost saying that -mhlproc is unknown.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Delivery of mail
I believe the attached patch repairs the problem: I have copied lines
from post.c into spost.c so that the -mhlproc switch can be handled.
I could not build a new package because the nmh-1.5-release source
package does not build out of the box (looks like it is failing some
valgrind tests). Therefore, as you will see, I have overwritten the
spost binary on my system.
Please check the patch, and if you believe in it, adopt it and pass it
upstream.
